vCloud Automation Center and NSX Integration Technical Deep Dive
This session will cover the self-service consumption of logical networking and security services provided through the integration of vCloud Automation Center and NSX vCAC and NSX allows users to create complete application templates which combine compute, storage, networking and security services in a blueprint for on-demand deployment. The presenters will focus on the technical details of the integration, along with design considerations and deployment models from experience with some of VMware's largest customers. A live demonstration will highlight new features introduced with the latest versions of vCAC and NSX.

NSX-v Dynamic Types plug-in
The NSX-v Dynamic Types plug-in is a solution built for providing NSX Network & Security as a Service in vCAC. The reason for writing this plug-in was that at the time it was needed there was no solution that could address the requirements including:
- Listing NSX objects by list
- Have specific properties for the objects, for example a members list for a security group
- Having specific operations such as the included Data Security scan
- Having specific objects supported in the inventory such as the Services
- Having the plug-in working on vCAC 6.0 / vCO 5.5 U1
- Having the plug-in on a stand alone vCO server
- Some OOTB workflows with plug-in objects as inputs / outputs to use with vCAC
This plug-in is also a good way to learn more about the Dynamic Types technology. It is possible to extend the plug-in with REST operations that can be found in the NSX API guide.
